OK, I just finished linking the store Elaine set up for Gothic BC and we just turned around and spent over $100 USD on our own shit. Since the markup is only $2/item we'll have to sell a minimum of 54 units to break even. Yup, me smrt busness guy. But, whatever... Elaine did a great job on the graphics and the stuff is going to look cool. And I need the baseball cap for the company golf tournament and the "Goths on Wheels" rides around the seawall.

I would take a few to the club, let people drink their beer out of them , give a few as door prizes ...
Give the mascara covered pavlovian dogs their bell and let them come runnin.

Date: 2004-03-04 06:45 pm (UTC)YOu do once around the wall , then you go around again but head up into the trails (absolutely beautif) until you come out on Siwash Rock Lookout point for the most amazing view
Although the second time around is more rugged, requires more stamina , and is not blade/10 speed friendly - but its well worth the payoff when that amazing view co-incides with that adreniline rush.
Incidently - I have been doing the wall for years...my recommendations
1) music - Trance is good.. the beats to the pedaling of the bycycle focus you while the ambient background music gives you that feeling of escape. (my personal favorite cyling music RUN LOLA RUN soundtrack)
2) During the summer- after 6:00 ...no fucking tourists and some of the most AMAZING sunsets you'll ever see
3) Sports drinks with electrolyte balances or bottles of water
4) During the colder months there are less tourists on the path - so cyclists (and respectful padestrians) share the path in peace.
so it is a good time.
5) Mid afternoon- BAD ... ignorant tourists and negligent parents ..you'll wear down your breaks and lose momentum every 1/4 mile

Date: 2004-03-05 09:42 am (UTC)Concept-wise it is really simple: every 15 minutes my server checks the community for changes. If the date-stamp on the latest post doesn't match the last one I downloaded, I download the entry in a encoded-text format. Then I run some basic search-and-replace filters to it take out certain HTML tags and to insert CSS class tags into others. The replaced text is then saved to document and included in the hompage with, essentially, a server-side include.
